Product Description

Product Description
Anodea Judith tackles Jungian psychology, spirituality, metaphysics, smoatic therapy and the New Age in this volume. Moreover, she weaves these diverse elements into a single theory based on a map of the seven chakras as harbours of: self-preservation; self-gratification; self-definition; self-acceptance; self-expression; self-reflection; and self-knowledge. Arranged schematically, this text uses the inherent structure of the Chakra System as a map on which to chart our Western understanding of individual development.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not your usual new age drivel, 3 April 2006
By A Customer
This review is from: Eastern Body, Western Mind: Psychology and the Chakra System as a Path to the Self (Paperback)
I have to be honest, when I first got this book, I expected it to be either an onslaught of tasteless commercial new age jargon, or a polarised attempt to assert the superiority of eastern over western philosophy. Once I started reading, however, I was immediately drawn in, if not captivated, by the author's balanced, intelligent and insightful style, and her ability to relate the eastern chakra paradigm to western systems of developmental theory and personal growth, from Piaget to Maszlow to Jung. I am presently about 300 pages into it (in chakra 5 of the 7) and reading it has been a genuine journey of self-discovery for me. I can enthusiastically say that this is one of the most fascinating and soul-stirring books I have ever read and I can already feel the reflections emerging from it have had a life-changing impact upon me. Not a "how to" book, but a true "make you think" book. This one stays on my shelf, and I will buy many copies as gifts for others.

2.0 out of 5 stars OK, as far as it goes, 3 Feb 1999
By A Customer
While the writing is easy to follow, I found this book to be rather annoying. I realize she is writing for people who may not have any knowledge of the chakra system. However, I found that her writing style was verbose, of the school "why say in a paragraph what you can say in six?" Despite that, I felt the book was lacking information. If you want to know more you are encouraged to buy yet another of her books, the workbook. And so, you are left rather hanging. I've encountered other such books where you need to buy additional books, and it is a real turn off, and this is the primary reason for only two stars. Go borrow it from the library. A better book for an east-west discussion of chakras and psychology is Carolyn Myss's Anatomy of Spirit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bringing Eastern & Western Philosophy together, 9 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This is an extraordinary book, succeeding in bringing Eastern and Western psychology & philosophy together in a comprehensive, down-to-earth, understandable way. Anodea Judith presents the chakra-system as a personal ladder to spiritual and emotional growth, almost analogue to the stages of development in the model of Erikson. What's unique (or at least, special) is the well-succeeded integration of Eastern and Western models of child and adult development. Hats off to Anodea Judith!
